You read that right. In this post, you’re going to get not 1, not 2, but 6 different healthy muffin recipes. Here’s what you’re in for:

Healthy Banana Nut Muffins

Healthy Chocolate Muffins

Cranberry Orange Muffins

Apple Cinnamon Muffins

Chocolate Pumpkin Zucchini Muffins

Healthy Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Muffins

Healthy Muffins – Base Recipe

First and foremost, let’s chat about our healthy muffins base recipe. For all 6 of these healthy muffin flavors, you’ll notice that we used the same exact base recipe and then deviated slightly for each flavor. We’ve tested this base recipe time and time again and let me tell you, it just works! Here’s what you need:

Dry Ingredients

1.5 cups white whole wheat flour

½ cup coconut sugar

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/8 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

2 eggs, large

1/2 cup maple syrup

1/2 cups almond milk, unsweetened

3 tablespoons coconut oil, melted

1 cup pureed fruit*

You’ll note that each of these healthy muffin recipes calls for the same exact dry ingredients. When it comes to wet, they call for the same ingredients minus the pureed fruit. Each of the 6 recipes will slightly differ, but the three pureed fruits we feature are: banana, apple and pumpkin. The great thing about pureed fruit is that it will:

add a serving of fruit to your muffins

make your muffins super duper moist

Before we move into all of these delicious flavors, I thought we’d chat about substitution options for a second!

Substitutions

White whole wheat flour: While whole wheat flour definitely works the best time and time again, but if you’re hoping to swap for a different flour, we suggest the following (and only the following) at a 1:1 ratio: all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, all-purpose gluten-free flour blend. Unfortunately, we do not recommend substituting 1:1 for coconut flour and/or almond flour.

Coconut sugar: The only sugar we would recommend swapping for coconut sugar 1:1 is a light brown sugar.

Eggs: We have not tested these recipes without eggs. If you do try these recipes with a flax egg, please let us know how it goes!

Maple syrup: Honey would be a fantastic 1:1 swap for maple syrup, and potentially agave nectar.

Almond milk: Good news! Any kind of milk will work with a 1:1 swap. Try soy milk, cow milk or coconut milk.

Coconut oil: While we haven’t tested any other subs, we’re confident butter would work as well as canola oil! If you try either of these, let us know how it works!
